*Point of order* ...

Since Rob3rt passes the 'young enough to be my son' test, I think a more accurate description would be 'some young whippersnapper', which also recognises our advanced years!

I've always thought it's more a state of mind, anyway I was just pulling his rather over sensitive plonker.

You can get disc brake specific racks, but they stick out each side. F'ugly in other words.

Can racks ever be pretty?

Can racks ever be pretty?

They can be functional without looking so ugly.

My Trek MTB (with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes) takes a standard Topeak Super Tourist rack, but it does involve some bodging and the use of a half inch spacer to get it to clear the caliper.

There is a disc specific Topeak Super Tourist with the spacers already fitted, the dx version. No bodging required.
